About this study
Official title: Brightline-3: A Phase III, Randomized, Open-label, Multi-center Trial of Brigimadlin + Ezabenlimab Compared to Gemcitabine + Docetaxel for Second-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced TP53 Wild-type Soft Tissue Sarcoma Subtypes
This study is open to adults with specific types of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. People with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) can join the study if they have a normal version of the TP53 gene. This is a study for people whose earlier treatment isn't working anymore, and their doctors suggest a new treatment to stop the sarcoma from getting worse.
The purpose of this study is to compare a medicine called brigimadlin in combination with another medicine called ezabenlimab with chemotherapy. Brigimadlin is a so-called MDM2-p53 antagonist that is being developed to treat cancer. Ezabenlimab is an antibody that may help the immune system fight cancer.

Participants are put into 3 groups by chance:
- Ezabenlimab group: Participants receive ezabenlimab as an infusion into a vein every 3 weeks
- Brigimadlin + ezabenlimab group: Participants take brigimadlin as tablets and receive ezabenlimab as an infusion into a vein every 3 weeks
- Chemotherapy group: Participants get chemotherapy as an infusion into a vein on 2 days every 3 weeks. Chemotherapy is a combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel which is often used in the treatment of sarcoma.
There are twice as many participants in the brigimadlin + ezabenlimab group and in the chemotherapy group, compared to those in the ezabenlimab group.
Participants can continue treatment in the study as long as they benefit from it and can tolerate it.
Doctors regularly check the size of the tumor and check whether it has spread to other parts of the body. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. Participants in this study use an app on a mobile phone to regularly answer questions about their health and well-being. This is to find out if their quality of life is changing.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-free survival
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization until the earliest of tumor progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1, based on blinded central independent review or death from any cause.
Measured: up to 4 years.
Overall survival
Overall survival, defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.
Measured: up to 4 years.
Secondary outcomes (12)
Objective response
Objective response (OR), defined as a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST Version 1.1 (based on central independent review) from the date of randomization until the earliest of disease progression, death, or last evaluable tumor assessment before start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, loss to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent.
Measured: up to 4 years.
Duration of objective response
Duration of objective response (DOR), defined as the time from first documented confirmed OR according to RECIST Version 1.1 until the earliest of disease progression or death among patients with confirmed objective response (based on central independent review).
Measured: up to 4 years.
Disease control
Disease control (DC), defined as a best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD), where best overall response is defined according to RECIST Version 1.1 (based on central independent review).
Measured: up to 4 years.
Duration of disease control
Duration of disease control, defined as the time from randomization until the earliest of disease progression according to RECIST Version 1.1 (based on central independent review) or death from any cause among patients with disease control.
Measured: up to 4 years.
Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5
